Emigdio Vasquez - Early Morning at OVC

Date February 22, 2008

This painting conveys the feeling that regardless of family problems, job difficulties or social pressures, this is a time of tranquility to be savored in the crisp morning hours of a new day. Peace shared between brothers, void of pretense. A few precious moments appreciated simply for what they were—a chance to be free.

Date November 20, 2007

Alice Beamish - Studio Corner

Date July 7, 2007
